EMS teams from counties all across Florida competed in high stress exercises to simulate real life situations Friday at First Coast Technical College in St. Augustine.
It was a who s who of the culinary community, and a first for St. Johns County.
Billed as a Chefs Round Table, a gathering of what organizer Tyrone Bennett called the heavyweights of the St. Augustine dining scene got together to talk shop, break bread and share a few laughs.
The event took place Monday afternoon (an off-night for many in the restaurant industry) at Amici Italian Restaurant, where owners Freddy and Jenn Underhill offered up the banquet hall for the occasion.
The grouping represented decades of experience from some of the biggest local names from the executive chefs for Cap s On the Water and Collage restaurant to food truck operators and private caterers.
